could you please take my hand?
let our fingers intertwine
till i can't even tell
where mine ends and yours begin
could you please let me
rest my head on your shoulder?
smooth and delicate, yet it holds my world steady
would you please gently
whisper in my ears
say it will be alright
even if it's just
a lie said in desperation
i need to hear it,
i need to believe it
now is not the time for bluntness
i know my place
i just need to elude
myself a bit more
feed me more mirages
i know they are illusions
but tonight i want to
think that they could come true. . .

deceive me. . .
as hard as you can
please delude me
play with my urge
to hang on to every word
maybe then you'd begin
to believe the madness
